LUDHIANA: Civic officials on Tuesday stopped the installation of an illegal submersible connection from Mundian on
Chandigarh Road, and covered the ground once again.
The municipal corporation officials also had to face resentment at the hands of people installing the submersible, but then officials involved mayor Balkar Sandhu who got a complaint registered at the nearby police station.
The municipal corporation officials have already started a drive to catch hold of illegal submersible connections in the city, and in zones B and C alone, they have identified around 1,900 such connections. The department will impose penalties on those who got their submersibles installed before 2010 without MC permission.
